The Delmar Loop Writers Group
The Delmar Loop Writers Group is a writing group in St. Louis that meets twice a week.
The DLWG is open to writers of all levels of experience and ability, including people who have never written anything in their lives. You don’t have to be working on a novel or a book of poems or a screenplay — or anything at all — to experiment with writing. Maybe you like to journal. Maybe you’re drafting a manifesto. Who can say?
If you want to stretch your creative limbs, renew your creative practice, and play with new material in a safe and welcoming space, come write with us for a while. There’s no commitment and no pressure. We are here to support and encourage one another.
Monday Night Writing Rounds
6:50 to 9:00 p.m. every Monday near the Loop (location available to members)
Bring paper and pen for playful, inspiring writing exercises that promote deep engagement with your creative self. Devices are fine, too.
Wednesday Night Sustained Writing
7:00 to 9:00 p.m. every Wednesday in the Loop (location available to members)
Bring your laptop or notebook for two hours of focused independent writing on your work in progress.
Sign up here for detailed information (including meeting location). Please message me if you’re wondering whether group is right for you. I’m happy to connect with you, and I truly hope to see you soon!
